2 Nephi 3:1
"...Thou wast born in the wilderness of mine afflictions; yea, in the days of my greatest sorrow did thy mother bear thee."
Children can bring happiness to sorrowful times. I love how, even though Lehi was in a bad place in life, he still decided to have children. There are many reasons to delay child-bearing, but Lehi doesn't think that living in a wilderness of affliction is one of them. I'm sure Joseph's birth was a huge relief during this time of hardship.
